A murder case inside a phone
You hold Maya Crane's phone, and the whole case lives in it. You scroll old chats, watch saved videos, check her influencer accounts, recover deleted files, and use a few hacking tools to open what she tried to keep shut. One clue often unlocks another: a name in a video gives you a password, a password opens a conversation, a conversation points at Rex, Mina, or Arya. Detective Murilo checks in, asks what you found, and pushes you to decide who to trust. It is methodical detective work, done one app at a time.
Three suspects and your own choices
You pick whether to work the case as a rookie detective or a ruthless journalist, then talk your way through a branching story where tone matters. You can press the three suspects hard, play supportive to keep them talking, or even post from Maya's accounts to stir a reaction. The characters lie, deflect, and hide their own motives, so reading between their messages is half the work. Choices change relationships and lead toward different endings, and a fast mode makes it easier to replay and chase the paths you missed.
Good to know?
How do you actually solve the case?
By working the victim's phone like a case file. You read texts, watch videos, browse social feeds, restore deleted material, and use in-phone hacking apps to open locked accounts. Then you compare stories, spot contradictions, and choose what to ask Murilo and the three suspects next.
Who are you in the story?
Murilo's helper, working under his direction. At the start you choose between a fresh-faced detective and a ruthless investigative journalist, which changes some dialogue and how blunt you can be. Either way, you are the one doing the late-night scrolling and deciding which lead to follow.
Does it connect to the first SIMULACRA?
Yes, it continues the series lore about the strange presence behind the phone, here called the Rippleman. You can follow this influencer case on its own, but armchair detectives who played the first game will catch more of the background behind what is happening.
How scary is it for detective fans?
The investigation stays central, but horror is part of the package: glitch effects, threatening videos, and timed moments that raise the pressure. If you are here for pure logic and calm clue-sorting, expect interruptions meant to unsettle you.
